Roku has made it more difficult for customers to bring lawsuits against it in recent months, but it appears corporate partners are another story. According to reporting from Reuters, last week, Dolby brought suit against Roku in California federal court, alleging that the streaming device and smart TV manufacturer has been improperly integrating Dolby technology into its products against the terms of a 2016 licensing agreement between the two companies.

Roku is at odds with Dolby for allegedly selling millions of Roku-branded devices using Dolby technology without complying with the terms of a 2016 licensing agreement between the two. According to Dolby, sometime between 2016 and 2020 Roku secretly began incorporating Dolby audio and visual software into its devices, lied to Dolby about doing so, and refused to allow an audit to see what it was doing with Dolby’s tech.
